Wireless/Sound Pain in Gateway 7326 GZ

Hi all,

I wish I were a programmer so I could create a driver to make all devices work under Linux, until then I have to report to you my pain in trying to configure the followings under these distribution : UBUNTU-Breezy Badger 5.10 ; Fedora Core 4 ; Mandriva 2006; Suse 10.

I followed all instructions regarding installing 'Ndiswrapper' ...etc. for a whole week on all the distributions not a chance.

I still want to quit windows but I also want to have wireless access and Sound. I turned to you today to tell me what else to do. In the meantime I am doing a dual boot with Windows XP and Mandriva 2006.

For sound, I also have Ac97 card and it works perfectly with SUSE and Mandrake (now Mandriva). Have you tried un-muting the channels by using a mixer such as KMix or by running alsamixer from the command line as root.
